Hope in the Darkness

Last night darkness
grew around her
Tied up and sedated
She was facing nothingness
(not without pain)
Even while her emotions
were being dulled by the chemicals
She still had electrical hopes
A plea for peace
came from her tortured lips
Does it seem like you
were there with her?
Only in spirit, friend
For she is facing the shadows alone
As memories well up in her
She breathes (not for the last time)

Nice poem deeply felt. Matthew, I don't know how to express my feelings about what you all are going through up in New York. I hope everything is back to normal soon. Just want you to know that I am praying for all of you. I have bee in that situation before. Many blessings. Lucilla
